Crews were hard at work putting the finishing touches on the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Baltimore.

"We're ready to open the doors right now, but we've got crews outside making sure the planting and the trees are in place and the risers are going in," said Alex Dixon, the assistant general manager at Horseshoe Casino.

The risers and the outdoor plaza will be a big part of the grand opening festivities. Doors open to the public at 9 p.m. Tuesday, and officials promise some big surprises, but are staying mum about exactly what they will include.

"There will be some celebrities. The mayor will be out, and a number of folks from our senior staff from Caesar's Entertainment, but there will be some specials acts that will be performing. We're really excited," Dixon said.

"We do expect strong demand. We really encourage the public to make sure that they take alternative means of transportation and try to find parking in the downtown lot and again, ride the Charm City Circulator, or take a ride-sharing ride or taxi down to the casino," Dixon said.

Officials set up a special Circulator Orange Line shuttle to take people right to the casino. Extra traffic officers will be on hand, too, to make sure people follow the strict parking rules in surrounding neighborhoods.

The inside of the casino is elaborate, and folks at Horseshoe are excited to open it up to the public. They've got two stories of gaming, including 2,500 slot machines and 122 table games, some of which are outside on balconies. They've got a World Series of Poker room, too, which is the only one in Maryland.

People won't go hungry, either, since there are 10 bars and restaurants inside the casino. They've got all things entertainment.

"Whether it's a girls night out or you're having a good time with the guys or you have some spare time in the middle of the day -- you're retired and want to come down and play the slots -- we've got a variety of options for you," Dixon said.

Officials said they expect more than 1,000 people to be lined up at the door when the casino opens.

Guy Fieri introduces new restaurant

There are 10 bars and restaurants. Some are locally owned, while others are collaborations of celebrity chefs, including Guy Fieri from "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" with his new restaurant, Baltimore Kitchen and Bar.

"I see a lot of casino openings and went to college in Las Vegas. This is really out of bounds," Fieri said Tuesday.

Fieri told 11 News "things will be off the hook" when it comes to entertainment and food inside the building. He also said Baltimore is close to his heart, as one of his aunts lived there.

"I remember coming to Orioles games when I was a kid and shooting 'Triple D' here. We've been here for 'Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives' several times. There are fantastic places you guys have. It's a big small town," Fieri said.

The famous chef gave 11 News' Lowell Melser an exclusive look at his new restaurant.

"Alright Lowell, I know that you're a man of the people, so I figure giving you the experience right off the bat should send the message. So, we're in Baltimore. You guys love crab more than probably anybody in the country, so these are my Bmore fries -- the Baltimore fries, cheese sauce, lump tail, broth, flavor or crab and Old Bay -- we spice it up," Fieri said.

Some of the other dishes included amazing spicy sashimi-grade tuna tacos and a delicious Parmesan alfredo blackened chicken pasta.

But "the off the chain" dish, as Fieri would call it, was a burger.

"This is the six cheese, mac and cheese burger. This burger is cooked at 650 degrees super fast on both sides. We toast the bun with a little bit of herb garlic butter. Then, we go cook that burger on the flat top, hit it with the mac and cheese, melt the cheese on top of it. Then, a nice pickle, tomato, onion, a little bit of shaved lettuce, some crispy fried onions and -- my brother from another mother -- that is the one," Fieri said.
